Life has been so crazy these past few weeks! Normally every week I am ahead on blog posts have them written and I just schedule them to publish. Not so this week! Here is a PARTIAL list of what has been going on...
*Said good-bye to grandma and grandpa
*We are currently dog sitting a retriever/lab mix. She is such a doll!
*We have had our friends' children over here for about 6 days while they went down to a memorial service in California. So we are a family of six!
*We have been out blueberry picking about four times and have about 35 cups of blueberries! This is the most we have ever picked.
*We picked four lbs of raspberries last night.
*Noah has been in swim lessons almost every day this summer. His strokes are really improving! If I had to be honest he is a better swimmer than I!
*Noah's swim lessons has allowed me about an hour of reading time each day. I have been using the time to try to read the Bible in 90 Days. So far I am ahead of schedule. I just started Nehemiah.
*I am working on getting the boys school schedules set for the year.
*I am trying to set up my Spanish lesson schedule also. (I teach private and small group lessons in the afternoons after I homeschool the boys.)
*I need to start making jam...going to start that process this week. I think I am going to make...
triple berry (strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry), blueberry, cranberry and banana, and raspberry jams this year.

Wow..you have been busy! It all sounds like so much fun though. I love planning the school year.
Banana jam, I'm intrigued. Is it just sweetened banana puree? Or do you add spices or flavoring?
Actually, it is cranberry/banana jam. You just add mashed bananas when you make the cranberry jam.
